I think the knee jerk resistance about “muh Billionaires” to any progress in reversing aging is just people’s deathism defense mechanisms kicking in.

Coupled with their left wing bias.

For example on dailyfail's comments conservatives were commenting "playing god! we're meant to die".

Pro aging trance expressed using their feeble political views.

guess this reasoning is more rooted in reality.
